tranquility of Zen

 The rtk kit test shows im negative for covid but im gonna buy another brand to retest.

Today i did simple gardening of applying fertiliser n watering plants in the zen garden that exudes serenity with a patio mini pot

pond of guppies.the stone lanterns add a zen feel as the bamboo plant and the wild native purplish  bamboo orchids are like the purple iris in japanese garden.the small pink flowers are the native senduduk or straits rhododendron whose leaves n roots have medicinal value .the acquatic plant with broad leaves and white flowers is the arrowhead or duck potato with a water cabbage below it.

i like the wabi sabi concept .the peeling paint,stained weatherbeaten wall n chipped patio assures me that nothing is permanent,nothing is complete and nothing is perfect.

Just wish i had a bigger space and id love to add in a zen rock garden with white gravel and huge granite boulders and some timeless gnarled and twisted bonsai pine trees.

Maybe a bridge over a koi pond would be nice.but this little patch of green is like a model of the earth,the soil,water n plants.even a resident frog which jumped out of the guppy pond,an orange butterfly hovering over flowers

And a grasshopper tells me a gatden has a life of its own.

Maybe ill create an indoor garden of stillness

For meditative tranquility with a small fountain,bonzai plants and a fishtank n a japanese alcove with calligraphy of the heart sutra and a low table with chinese tea set.uhmm thats a zone of harmony and peace.
